It was just a week ago that we were in Seattle to attend Halo Fest. Now Waypoint is reminding us to never forget what happened and why we were all there in the first place. We have such a wonderful franchise and a ton of communities that make the game fun and enjoyable for everyone.
If you weren’t at Halo Fest this weekend, no need to worry. bs angel has you covered in this week’s Bulletin. She has posted quite a collection of pictures that I think pretty much captures what was there. Also, if you’re looking for any more specifics on the upcoming Halo: Reach title update, there are some detailed descriptions of what actually is changing in the post. Everything you want to know about bloom reduction, armor lock nerfing and shield bleed-through can be found there.
After the last panel on Sunday, a group of us decided to sit down and talk about what we thought about Halo Fest and what we enjoyed the most about it. Some of the panelists from the community panel are on the show along with a few others from people I met at the event. Enjoy

This trailer was shown at the Halo 4 Panel on Sunday morning at Halo Fest. While it doesn’t give too much insight into what we’re going to see in the campaign graphically, it does lead to some speculation on what we might see in the game. Take a watch: we’ll be talking about it soon on the show.

343i and IGN was gracious enough to give us a recording of our panel at Halo Fest. You can still find the video on the Halo Fest Hub over at IGN. We each talked a little about our respective communities and the importance of having strong communities to attract other fans of Halo. Panelists include Goosechecka from Grifball Hub, Redemption from Halo Challenges, Adam Grumbo from the 405th, CMNeir from Halo 3 Tricks, Louis Wu from halo.bungie.org, and myself. Enjoy

This is the first time I’ve been able to sit down since getting to Halo Fest to actually update the site. I’m actually currently watching the Waypoint Update panel while typing this up so I’m constantly engaged in Halo Fest. One piece of news that I think is important to everyone is the Title Update for Halo: Reach. Details can be found in the Waypoint forums. Needless to say, I’m very happy about the stuff they’ve fixed with Armor Lock and it makes a lot more sense. Check it out and if you’re at Halo Fest, come say hi.
